In Norway a town of Alesund, putting together a huge pallet and creating a bonfire is how they celebrate summer. At Norway celebrating Norway is a great big deal since they barely see the sun in winter. The celebrating takes part in the, “Land of the Midnight Sun.”
Locals created this leaning tower of pallets to celebrate Midsummer, known to them as Sankthans.
The annual festival celebrates John the Baptist’s birth. But they don’t just BUILD the tower…
To light the fire properly, someone must climb the tower and light it from the top.
It’s built specifically so that it burns from the top down (so that whoever lights it can climb away to safety quickly).
With a fire this enormous, keeping a safe distance is vital, so it’s doubtful anyone made s’mores.
